Genderless fashion trend: what is it?

We often hear “gender” and “genderless collections”, but what does it mean?What characterizes genderless collections? If you are wondering about these questions, you’re in the right place.

What is “gender” and “gender” in fashion

To better understand how gender has influenced fashion, we start from the definition of the word “gender”: it is the gender distinction rather than biological differences, but in a more generic manner all the behaviors and components of a social nature that are often attributed to a gender rather than to the other.

More and more people prefer to live their lives by doing what they feel closest to their personality, regardless of whether they are behaviors commonly attributed to the opposite sex of affiliation.

Let’s take practical examples to understand better:

– In today’s society, more and more women choose to work professionally, unlike what was happening in the past, so domestic affairs are rightly done by both sides, going “against” what the society of the past had established, that the man had to work and the woman had to clean the home and do everything for the family.

– Another classic example of gender-related behaviors are sports: the lil boys are often involved by the parents in football while the girls in the dance. More and more families, fortunately, now decide to follow the attitudes and desires of their children and it is therefore common for example to see children attend classical dance classes and girls playing football or basketball.

– One last example is fashion and clothing: wearing pink, for example, is often attributed to women, while blue to men.

Obviously they are habitual and non-rules of life with foundations, so from the fashion we can start to revolutionize these archaic ways of thinking.Fashion in this is surely a step forward by proposing the pink as a trend for this season for man or by making genderless collections, ie without a specific gender-based destination but suitable for everyone.

One of these examples is StandFor, a Portuguese shoe manufacturer who also promoted an interesting initiative to which I participated as “One Gender” to fight all gender discrimination, because the only gender that really counts is just one : the human one.
